These sensors carry the CE / UKCA marking and satisfy the requirements of the EU Directives / UK regula- tions cited and the European harmonized standards (EN) listed therein. The Declaration of Conformity is available to the responsible authorities at: MICRO-EPSILON MESSTECHNIK GmbH & Co. KG Koenigbacher Straße 15 94496 Ortenburg / Germany Draw-wire displacement sensors with potentiometer output are devices (components) which cannot be oper- ated autonomously and do not carry a CE / UKCA marking.
Safety Intended Use - Draw wire sensors are used for distance or displacement measuring position determination of components or moving machine parts. - The sensors must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see - Draw wire sensors must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other material goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the sensor.
Functional Principle, Technical Data Functional Principle, Technical Data Functional Principle With the wire principle, a linear motion is transformed into a change in resistance by a rotation. A measuring wire made of highly flexible stainless steel wires is wound onto a drum with the aid of a long life spring motor.
